How do we talk to ourselves, take care of ourselves, and come together in a time of postpartum (and pandemic) to support maternal mental health? We spoke with Dr. Catherine Birndorf and Paige Bellenbaum, co-founders of The Motherhood Center, about postpartum depression, managing anxiety as a new mom, challenges during the pandemic, and the importance of community. Dr. Birndorf and Paige share the story of how they came together to form The Motherhood Center of New York to offer supportive services and perinatal mood and anxiety disorders treatment (PMADs) for new and expecting moms plus ideas for nourishment and navigating emotions during a transitional time.
